 This is a Self-guided instruction on how to build a tube, shape it into three objects: a stool, a fountain head and a lamp; texture, copy, modify the horizontal & vertical repeats, rotate a texture and turn on the lighting properties.

This modeling lesson is covered the first or second night in a virtual world class and provides beginner through intermediate building skills. Linking is covered in a separate lesson.

Includes a sculpture of the evolution of the three shapes that when clicked, provides a note card with instructions, textures and a sample of the finished product.
